Nick's 1975 Topps Mini Collection

About this set: My passion for this set began in March 2008 when I stumbled upon two NM-MT raw mini's of Hal McCrae and Davey Lopes at a local card shop while rooting around for regular-sized '75's. I subsequently began and completed a 660-card mini set that consisted of a combination of graded (about 100) and raw cards in 2009. Out of love for the colorful '75 design, the mini's relative scarcity in high grade, and the condition challenges that come with collecting mini's, I began pursuit of this registry set in August 2010, and completed it two years later. In building this set, I've targeted cards that completely fill the card holder, including as much as possible, the red/yellow and green/yellow color combos which tend to come factory short right out of the pack. Going forward, I plan to upgrade the set from time to time with nicely conditioned, full-sized examples.
